Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan
- Blender
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
Ingredients
- 340 gr all-purpose flour
- 430 gr sugar
- 125 gr milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 vanilla
- 80 gr butter
- 115 gr sunflower oil
- 225 gr water
- 150 gr peanut butter
- 4-5 tablespoons peanut butter
- 4-5 tablespoons choco-cream or Nutella
Instructions
- In a cooking pan, add the peanut butter, water, sunflower oil, and butter. Cook on medium heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. You want to achieve a homogeneous mixture that’s easy to pour.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is soft and pale. This process incorporates air, which will help the cake rise beautifully.
- Add the milk to the egg mixture and continue mixing. This will add moisture and ensure a smooth batter.
- In another bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients, including the all-purpose flour and baking powder. This step is crucial for breaking up any lumps and ensuring even distribution of the leavening agent.
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture in the mixing bowl. Mix until just combined; overmixing can lead to a dense cake, and we want it light and airy.
- Pour the mixture from the cooking pan into the mixing bowl with the batter. Gently fold the two mixtures together until fully incorporated. You’ll notice the batter has a lovely creamy texture.
- Prepare your baking pan by sprinkling some flour around it, which prevents the cake from sticking. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Preheat your oven to 175 °C (347 ℉). Bake the cake for approximately 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You’ll want to keep an eye on it as it bakes to achieve that perfect golden color.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a glass bowl, heat the peanut butter and choco-cream or Nutella in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds until they are warm and soft. If necessary, microwave for a little longer until they reach a pourable consistency.
- Once the cake has cooled, spread the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides for a beautiful finish. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for!
